Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Stop the bus
I wanna be lonely
When seconds pass slowly
And years go flying by
You gotta stop the bus
I'll get off here
Enough's enough
And I'm leaving this factory
[Verse 2]
All she wants
Is food on the table
I won't be able
To bring it home
No I won't, come on
'Cause all I need, yeah is free
'Cause I'm a factory
[Verse 3]
Did Mother Nature tell you, boy, you come and go as you please?
That's what she said to me
But big brother got the keys
And I got Jackson Cannery
Whoa
Whoa
[Verse 4]
Whoa
Whoa
[Verse 5]
Millionaires and mill rats live side-by-side
Messed up my brother's mind
He's far from Earth
Tell me, what's he worth?
(Nothing)
The same as you, the same as me
In this factory
[Verse 6]
Did Mother Nature tell you, boy, you come and go as you please?
That's what she said to me
But big brother got the keys
And I got Jackson Cannery
Whoa
Come on
Whoa
Whoa
Whoa
[Verse 7]
It's 4 in the morning
Mother don't know
That I'm going far away
She's whispering to the moon
I hope he don't join you soon
[Verse 8]
Baby boss climbs up on his soapbox
But Great Caesar's ghost knows what's best for me
He says, stop the bus
[Verse 9]
Did Mother Nature tell you, boy, you come and go as you please?
That's what she said to me but
Big brother got the keys
And I got Jackson Cannery
Big brother got the keys
And I got Jackson Cannery
Big brother got the keys
And I got Jackson Cannery
